Well. That's a great question. I've never had to, in New England a drought means it's still raining, just not as much as we would like. I need to get ahold of the code book for fire suppression and start planning. I assume I'll need sprinklers inside and if they have adopted the California system, I may need to put exterior and/or roof sprinklers and a large pressure tank in.

I'm also going to have to ask about setback between trees and building. We were hoping to go with the "cabin nestled into a grove of trees" thing, but that won't play well with fire safety and home insurance probably won't like it either now that I think about it.

Ask the local FD what they recommend but yeah, nestling in trees is a huge no go.

This is a huge overgeneralization but generally anything you do to try to emphasizes "wilderness/nature" is likely going to bite you in the rear end when it comes to dealing with fires because all that shits gonna burn.
